Mellanox SX6710 InfiniBand Switch
36-port Non-blocking Managed FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand Switch
[MSX6710-FS2F2]Details
36-Port Non-blocking Managed FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand Switch
SX6710 switch system provides the highest performing fabric solution in a 1U form factor by delivering up to 4Tb/s of non-blocking bandwidth with 200ns port-to-port latency.
Scaling-out data centres with Fourteen Data Rate (FDR) InfiniBand
Faster servers based on PCIe 3.0, combined with high-performance storage and applications that use increasingly complex computations, are causing data bandwidth requirements to spiral upward. As servers are deployed with next generation processors, High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments and Enterprise Data Centres (EDC) will need every last bit of bandwidth delivered with Mellanox's next generation of FDR InfiniBand high-speed smart switches.
Sustained network performance
Built with Mellanox's latest SwitchX-2 InfiniBand switch device, FDR uses efficient 64/66 encoding while increasing the per lane signalling rate to 14Gb/s. SX6710 provides up to thirty-six 56Gb/s full bi-directional bandwidth per port. These stand-alone switches are an ideal choice for top-of-rack leaf connectivity or for building small to extremely large-sized clusters.
SX6710 enables efficient computing with features such as static routing, adaptive routing, and congestion control. These features ensure the maximum effective fabric bandwidth by eliminating congestion hot spots.
World-Class design
SX6710 is an elegant top of the rack design, created for performance, serviceability, energy savings and high-availability. SX6710 has redundant power supplies (1+1) and fan draws (N+1) both with air shutters for achieving maximal thermal protection.
Management
The SX6710, dual-core x86 CPU, comes with an onboard subnet manager, enabling simple, out-of-the-box fabric bring-up for up to 648 nodes.
SX6710 switch can also be coupled with Mellanox's Unified Fabric Manager (UFM) software for managing scale-out InfiniBand computing environments. UFM enables data centre operators to efficiently provision, monitor and operate the modern data centre fabric.
